1. "Decent people should spit when you (Republicons) walk by."

Republicons continue to disgrace themselves.

"Ptoooey" - Decent American citizens

2. As usual, Pierce nails it with unrivaled eloquence.

I expect to see this at the top of Greatest shortly.

4. I can't believe this hasn't been answered

The twits on This Week with George Stephanopolous last Sunday, like Matthew Dowd, were already using this language - how similar Katrina and ACA are!

Nice catch by Pierce that this comparison is now the talking point du jour of all who previously worked for Bush. They have been so busy peddling ANY talking point just to get rid of the stench of their own incompetence! Why doesn't anyone call them out on it??!!

5. Thank God we've got Charlie Pierce around.....

....regularly articulating the sort of rage and contempt that's called for these days.

6. It boggles my mind as to how fixable problems related to a large, sweeping law

and a complex website are being compared to ANY of Bush's disasters. It's not even in the same universe, but being treated the same by the GOP, and the media is parroting this.

8. DIFFERENCE: Obama screwed up trying to help people...

Bush screwed up by not trying.

I'm not the biggest fan of Obama, but that's a pretty big difference.
